The President is obviously a kind, compassionate, and forgiving man.

I have no idea who that is but suddenly am VERY interested in finding out.

Unsolicited advice from someone who survived a very necessary estrangement from her own mother: beware of anyone who attempts to convince you that you should be able to look past this. I wish someone had told me 20 years ago that “blood is not thicker than safety.” Thank you and good luck.

I think most “small government” folk agree that children should be protected from physical and sexual abuse if the question is phrased in that manner, but can be pretty resistant toward prevention and enforcement when they see what that looks like.

Any system that values hierarchy instead of equality does this. See religions, ‘family values’, scouts, the list goes on.

Abusers are always seeking Unimpeachable positions of trust in the community so they can get away with more with less effort.

So here’s a rule to follow everyone: If someone offends a group of which you are not a part of, it is not up to you to decide when people should get over it or accept the apology.

No sympathy! The bigoted AJ Delgado, who’s written for the Nazis at Breitbart, is being treated by her former friends the way she would have treated them if they were the ones who got pregnant by some guy married to someone else.

Here you go, A. Here is the only beauty tutorial you’ll ever need.

Wow call me too invested in it or whatever but I actually fucking HATE Amber’s post. If you’re not going to commit to putting the prongs in your hair you don’t deserve to share a diptych with Ariel you HACK.

And the winner is:

Yes, because this is a website about CARS and this story highlights how she used her CAR and her MANUAL TRANSMISSION to escape.

I am a news junkie and I do not read that crap. No news junkies I know, and I know a lot, read that crap. I find your statement hard to believe.

I was part of their newsletter mailing in the beginning, a fresh college graduate trying to “be an adult” but was quickly annoyed when I felt like I was being talked down to by the snotty popular girls. I’ve found better, more informative newsletters since.

you know what would be SUPER AWESOME? being able to exist in the world without constant reminders that most other people in the world evaluate me and my value through the lens of how much dudes do or do not want to fuck me.

Agreed. And I’m not sure why a lady with curly hair buying hair products for curly hair has to be referred to as owning “powerful gypsy curls.”

This is really unnecessary.
